MS Côte des Dunes

MS Côte des Dunes is a Rodin-class ropax ferry operated by DFDS Seaways and currently in service between Dover and Calais.

She was built in 2001 by Aker Finnyards in Rauma, Finland (Yard No.437) for SeaFrance, as a passenger and roll-on roll-off car and commercial vehicle ferry; the engines are made by Wärtsilä.

On 8 June 2015, DFDS Seaways France announced that they had chartered the ferry and her sister ship initially for a two-year period with an option to purchase.

[citation needed] Afterwards, the ship was towed by two tugs to Dunkirk and was put in a dry dock and refurbished, with the interior being completely rebuilt and the exterior being repainted in the DFDS livery.

There are also three 1,800 kW thrusters in the bow and four Wärtsilä 8L20 engines driving 1710 kVA ABB alternators for electricity supply.
